Portacaval Anastomosis and Peptic Ulcer: A Nonassociation
Gastroenterology, 1975 The incidence of peptic ulcer is increased in cirrhosis and is widely believed to be even greater in cirrhotic patients with portacaval anastomosis (PCA). Two prospective, controlled investigations of prophylactic PCA were evaluated to compare the frequency of peptic ulcer in two groups of cirrhotic patients with similar clinical and laboratory ...

Reduced Liver Lipid Peroxidation in Subcellular Fractions Is Associated with a Hypometabolic State in Rats with Portacaval Anastomosis. [PDF]
Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2019 A surgical connection between portal and inferior cava veins was performed to generate an experimental model of high circulating ammonium and hepatic hypofunctioning. After 13 weeks of portacaval anastomosis (PCA), hyperammonemia and shrinkage in the liver were observed.

Portacaval anastomosis-induced hyperammonemia does not lead to oxidative stress [PDF]
, 2010 Ammonia is neurotoxic and believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). It has been demonstrated, in vitro and in vivo, that acute and high ammonia treatment induces oxidative stress.

Techniques for Management of Portal Vein Thrombosis during Liver Transplantation. [PDF]
Case Rep Transplant, 2020 Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) poses a unique challenge in liver transplant. The management of PVT differs according to the extent of thrombosis. Anastomosis of a donor portal vein to a varix is a viable option when an adequate size varix is identified on preoperative imaging or intraoperatively.

Preoperative portal vein recanalization-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for chronic obliterative portal vein thrombosis: Outcomes following liver transplantation. [PDF]
Hepatol Commun, 2022 Patients with chronic, obliterative portal vein thrombosis may be converted to liver transplantation candidacy following portal vein recanalization‐transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PVR‐TIPS). Long‐term survival outcomes of patients with chronic, obliterative portal vein thrombosis who undergo transplantation following PVR‐TIPS are similar
